Falsificaciones [Falsifications] (1966)
Marco Denevi (1922-98)
159 pages
Jonah and the Whale
Jonah harassed the whale, insulted it, provoked it, told it that it fed on small fish but was incapable of devouring a man, called it a herring, a little bream and other offensive epithets. Eventually the whale, fed up with finding itself so vilified, or perhaps to shut-up this madman, swallowed Jonah without causing him the least injury. Once inside the belly of the whale, Jonah began running to and fro. He barked wildly, and punched and kicked the walls of the whale's stomach. Within a few hours the whale, sick with nausea, vomited Jonah onto the bench. Jonah told everyone that he had spent a year inside the whale; he invented heroic adventures, and declared that the whale was afraid of him. Moral: if you are large and powerful like a whale, and some sort of Jonah defies you, don't devour him, because you will vomit him transformed into a hero.
Marco Denevi turns the well-known parable of Jonah being swallowed by the whale on its head in his book Falsificaciones (in English: Falsifications), inventing a new version and moral for the ancient parable. In some seven dozen similar vignettes in the book --- running from a few lines to a few pages --- Denevi reaches back to mostly familiar scenes from mythology, literature and the Bible, and bends them to his will, creating idiosyncratic but enchanting alternative explanations for stories we assumed we knew and understood.
Falsifications has a similar structure and feel to Denevi's book The Garden of Delights: Erotic Myths (in Spanish: El Jardín de las Delicias: Mitos Eróticos; find my review here). Whereas in The Garden of Delights Denevi focused on human struggles and whims in romance and loving, with Falsifications he takes on a broader scope, examining all manner of human foibles. Tales of eros of course have there place in these alternative narratives created by Denevi, but so too do stories of prideful vanity, grasping greed and blind hero-worship. In each case Denevi seems to humanize these old stories, introducing behaviors and motivations that make the original versions of the stories seem quaint and idealized.
In a brilliant several pages of imagination, for example, Denevi creates a story based on a famous old painting by Albrecht Dürer called The Horse, Death, and the Devil. Titled The Dog of Dürer, in reference to a hound that accompanies the knight in the painting, Denevi's tale skewers jingoism and the supposed joy of battle, and lays bare the awful realities of war. He paints, in words, the future that lies before the returning warrior, forever changed from traumatic experiences incomprehensible to the society which awaits him. The story has a bit of the feel of Twain's The War Prayer, but from the point of view after the fighting has, for that moment in history at least, concluded. I would argue that it represents as powerful an anti-war statement as can be made.
As with The Garden of Delights, I have unfortunately not found that there exists an English translation of Falsifications. But, if you know a little Spanish, and are willing to work through the book with a Spanish-English dictionary at your side, these stories are well worth the effort.

Localised cystic renal disease
Localised cystic renal disease (LCRD) (or localised cystic kidney disease) is an uncommon, non-familial, non-progressive disease characterised by clusters of cysts within normal renal parenchyma. It can be confused with unilateral autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), multilocular cystic nephroma (MLCN), or cystic neoplasm.
On this page:
Variable age of presentation reported from 16 to 83 years. Median age is 50 years old with a proposed male predilection 1-3.
Clinical presentation
Localised cystic renal disease can present as an incidental finding due to imaging for other reasons. Haematuria, pain and abdominal mass have also been described.
Reported cases do not encompass a large number. When pathological samples have been obtained the following characteristics were displayed:
- segmental involvement of the kidney with conglomerate, non-encapsulated cysts of varied sizes,lined with flattened epithelium; cysts appear between regions of normal or atrophic parenchyma
- smooth walled cysts with either thin yellow fluid or haemorrhagic contents
- papillary formation and calcification are not a feature
- same gross histological appearance as autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD)
Radiographic features
Renal cysts in LRCD can involve segments of the kidney or the entire kidney but are always unilateral. The key feature is that the cysts are separated by normal or atrophic renal parenchyma.
Ultrasound shows multiple small simple cysts in a segmental or unilateral distribution with normal renal parenchyma in non affected segments and intervening between cysts. Contralateral kidney is unaffected 2. No Doppler signal in the cysts 3.
CT findings are characteristic:
- segmental/unilateral renal involvement
- normal atrophic parenchyma separating cysts
- normal contralateral kidney
- unencapsulated mass
- can have scattered calcification in cyst walls
- haemorrhagic high attenuation cysts usually resulting from trauma
- T2: multiple cysts of high T2W signal intensity, normal intervening parenchyma
- T1 C+ (Gd): no enhancing nodularity
- MRA: increased intensity of the main renal artery and splaying of the intrarenal vessels around cystic structures
Treatment and prognosis
Good prognosis with no potential for malignant transformation. Partial and total nephrectomy when there is a suspicion of malignancy or where the LRCD is not recognised 1.
Differential diagnosis
The main differential is unilateral autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Others include:

(From Geeks of Doom) The biggest pop culture phenomenon of 2016 may be Netflix's Stranger Things. The 8-episode miniseries debuted in July and immediately became the talk of social media, instantly replacing House of Cards as TV's most binge-worthy show.
The show, created by twins Matt and Ross Duffer tells the story of a small Indiana town of Hawkins in the early 1980s, beset by a series of… well… strange things. A young boy disappears, and his friends believe it the work of a D&D style monster. His mom and brother grow more and more frazzled searching for him. All the while, a mysterious young girl is on the run from a government research lab.
Fans immediately picked up on the numerous homages to classics from the late 70s and early '80s, like ET, Alien, A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Goonies and Stand By Me as well as other work by Stephen King.
The good news for everyone captivated by the series, which should come as no shock is that Stranger Things has been renewed for a second season.
Season 2 will be out sometime in 2017, and will feature 9 episodes rather than 8. The Duffer Brothers are returning to write and will executive produce alongside Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen again.
No casting news has been reported as of yet, but season 1 ended with questions unanswered (no spoilers) so a continuation is not out of the question. The series starred Winona Ryder in her first major television role. David Harbour and Matthew Modine were the other major adult characters but the true stars were the incredible array of child talent including Finn Wolfhard (Mike), Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin), Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas), Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven), Charlie Heaton (Jonathan) and Natalia Dyer (Nancy).

Titan's newest A320-200 (G-POWK) was successfully equipped at the end of April. Installations are to continue with two additional A320-200 aircraft and two Boeing 757-200's in the coming months. Aircraft are used for both executive and commercial charters and leasing.Stansted-based charter and sub-charter specialist Titan Airways announced last week at EBACE in Geneva that it has begun to equip a selection of its growing narrow-body fleet with an installed IFE streaming platform provided by Media inMotion (MiM), a UK-based provider of modular and wireless in-flight entertainment (IFE) solutions.
On each of the A320-200 and Boeing 757-200 aircraft to be equipped with the MiM platform, passengers will enjoy digital content (ranging from Hollywood films and popular network series to current newspapers, magazines and music) streamed wirelessly from a lightweight onboard server to their smart phones, tablets and other Wi-Fi enabled personal electronic devices (PEDs). Five wireless access points (WAPs) per aircraft will ensure steady connection without degradation of experience, no matter how many passengers choose to log on.
According to Titan Airway's Assistant Director Alastair Willson, Media in Motion's successful large-scale IFE deployment with Monarch Airlines demonstrated to him that the solution is reliable, robust, and supported by a truly dedicated team of experts.
"This solution just seemed to tick all the boxes for us. MiM are already working with another UK airline, so we were able to actually touch and feel the product. It has been tried and tested, which for us is really important. We had a lot of trust in this team to deliver on what they promised, and so far they have done just that," commented Willson on last week's partnership announcement.
"We very much aim to be a premium service," Willson continued, adding that Titan Airways always has an eye on the future. "All of our A320s are under 10 years of age and the 757's are some of the youngest in the world. We believe that in a short time this type of digital IFE offering will become a necessity in this highly competitive business. We wanted something flexible and future-proof and we think we've got that with the Media inMotion system."
Martin Cunnison, CEO of Media inMotion, says that for now, the platform's graphical user interface (GUI) has been configured to reflect Titan's own branding; but that can be easily changed based on their charter customer's own requirements.
"The partnership allows us to highly customise the passenger experience to suit the varied missions the aircraft are used for. At the touch of a button, crew can change the entire user interface and content line up to match the audience - whether the aircraft is flying in the easyJet or Jet2 colours or under private charter for Manchester United or Audi," he explained.
"We are thrilled to be selected by Titan Airways to be their fully outsourced wireless IFE partner for the next 5 years."
Media inMotion also offers a lighter and completely portable wireless IFE solution that can be deployed in minutes, without supplemental type certification (STC).

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:
Mainstay Medical International plc ("Mainstay" or the "Company" listed on Euronext Paris: MSTY.PA and ESM of the Irish Stock Exchange: MSTY.IE), a medical device company focused on bringing to market ReActiv8®, an innovative implantable medical device for people suffering from disabling Chronic Low Back Pain ("CLBP"), today announced a debt facility for up to $15 million.
The secured debt facility is non-dilutive to existing shareholders, and is being provided by IPF Partners, a leading financing provider focused on the European healthcare sector.
"We are pleased to have secured this $15 million debt facility. These funds strengthen our financial position, and allow us to continue building momentum towards commercialisation of ReActiv8," said Peter Crosby, CEO of Mainstay.
The facility can be drawn in three tranches, with an initial tranche of $4.5 million available immediately. The second and third tranches can be drawn following the achievement of milestones related to progress through the CE Mark process for ReActiv8.
Each tranche has a repayment term of 60 months from drawdown, with interest only payments for the first 12 months. The interest rate is 3-month Euribor plus a margin ranging from 10.5% to 12.5%.
The terms of the agreement include a requirement that the Company hold a minimum cash balance of $2 million until it achieves revenue targets, initially $1 million. The facility is subject to customary terms and conditions and includes an exit fee (in lieu of warrants) of 5% of each tranche payable upon repayment, and voluntary prepayment provisions. The facility does not include any preferential right to participate in a future financing of Mainstay.

About Mainstay
Mainstay is a medical device company which is developing an innovative implantable neurostimulation system, ReActiv8®, for people with disabling Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP). The Company is headquartered in Dublin, Ireland. It has subsidiaries operating in Ireland, the United States and Australia, and is listed on Euronext Paris (MSTY.PA) and the ESM of the Irish Stock Exchange (MSTY.IE).
About IPF Partners
IPF Partners is an investment platform founded by a team of 4 fund managers and health sector leaders. The IPF I fund, which was launched in October 2011 with 80 million euros of funding and which is aiming to obtain institutional investor commitments of 150 million euros, provides bespoke debt and other financing solutions to health sector companies that have reached the marketing stage in order to help them handle their ongoing and acquisition financing requirements. IPF I has already committed over 50 million euros to various European health product companies.
About the ReActiv8-A Trial
The ReActiv8-A clinical trial is a prospective single arm clinical trial with up to 96 subjects at sites in Australia and Europe. Outcome measures for the ReActiv8-A clinical trial are assessed at a three month endpoint after activation of stimulation and compared to baseline prior to implant. Further details can be obtained at https://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT01985230.
About Chronic Low Back Pain
One of the recognised root causes of CLBP is impaired control by the nervous system of the muscles that dynamically stabilise the spine in the lower back, and an unstable spine can lead to back pain. ReActiv8 is designed to electrically stimulate the nerves responsible for contracting these muscles and thereby help to restore muscle control and improve dynamic spine stability, allowing the body to recover from CLBP.
People with CLBP usually have a greatly reduced quality of life and score significantly higher on scales for pain, disability, depression, anxiety and sleep disorders. Their pain and disability can persist despite the best available medical treatments, and only a small percentage of cases result from an identified pathological condition or anatomical defect that may be correctable with spine surgery. Their ability to work or be productive is seriously affected by the condition and the resulting days lost from work, disability benefits and health resource utilisation put a significant burden on individuals, families, communities, industry, and governments.
Further information can be found at www.mainstay-medical.com
ReActiv8 is an investigational device and is not approved for commercialisation anywhere in the world.
CAUTION – in the United States, ReActiv8 is limited by federal law to investigational use only.

Earn A Certificate of Inclusion by participating in
Connecting Across Differences!
Would you like to have the ability to offer employees, board members, leaders, students, faculty, staff and/or volunteers the opportunity to earn either a Certificate of Inclusion or an Advanced Certificate of Inclusion. If so, the Connecting Across Differences program is designed for you!These opportunities benefit organizations, and the people who make up the organizations. Make sure that you and/or your organization are poised for success as your customers, employees, students and their families continue to arrive from around the world or from as close as Los Angeles, Chicago or Raleigh. The Inclusion Certificate helps motivate participants to further reflect on their own cultural identity, empathize with others who are marginalized, understand implicit bias, embrace diversity with inclusive behaviors, prevent and resolve conflict, create a welcoming environment, and connect across differences. In addition, this program will help document achievements for the organization as a whole, and for those who serve the organization. The Inclusion Certificate itself is made to be frame-able and proudly displayed!
Training sessions are delivered by experienced, professional and diverse facilitators. Workshops will typically have a minimum of 10 participants and a maximum of 25 to in order to enhance interaction and learning. These session will be tailored to the needs of your organization, campus or business.
Learning Objectives:
The learning objectives of both Inclusion Certificate programs include the following. Participants will:
- Increase knowledge of changing demographics
- Increase understanding of their own cultural identity and the impact it has on their life and community
- Learn to recognize implicit bias and inequities, as well as develop empathy for those who are marginalized
- Develop useful communication skills for meaningful cross-cultural interactions. Understand your own style and how others may react to it and visa versa
- Gain confidence in one's ability to successfully connect across cultures, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and other differences
In addition, the learning objectives for the Advanced Inclusion Certificate also includes the following. Participants will:
- Learn to how to identify the policies, procedures, practices, and privilege that may further marginalize members of specific groups
- Develop the confidence and know-how to interrupt conversations, which promote racism, ethnocentrism, and more "isms"
- Learn what allies are, and are not
- Understand the process of developing cultural competency and how to continue forward movement
Certificates Are Earned By:
- Engaging in a 3 hour introductory workshop, titled "Embracing Diversity with Inclusive Behaviors". This sessions provides basic information about intercultural communication, diversity and inclusion that will be shared by all participants, and thus, promote on-going discussion and exploration.
Choosing from a smorgasbord of workshops. More specifically, to earn an Inclusive Certificate, participants will complete 3 two-hour workshops. For an Advanced Inclusion Certificate participants will complete 6 two-hour workshops, two of which are designated as "Topical" sessions. Providing a smorgasbord approach allows participants to select based on their specific interests and needs, and thus, increases motivation and improves outcomes.
Engaging in a one-hour wrap-up session, titled "Reflections and Revving Up". Participants will be guided through a process of reflecting on their experiences and learnings. They also be provided with a variety of resources, and challenged to identify next steps in the life-long process of developing cultural competencies.
Additional recommendation:
Coordinating a Inclusion Certificate Ceremony is also an option that CFC staff will advise customers on and/or implement for the organization. Typically, it immediately follows the final session, described in #3 above and lasts approximately one hour.
For more information contact Helen at Culture Friendly Consulting, LLC. Helen will be able to provide you with a list of workshop offerings, pricing, and answer any questions you may have.

As an engineer, I have learned that what gets measured is what improves. So starting in September, my first month with this blog, I want to share with you some of the ways my family and I prepped. This includes learning a new skill, adding to our reserves, or crossing tasks off our list.
- Watched some YouTube videos and learned a new way to finish a paracord cobra braid project I was working on.
- Bought and prepared my first freeze-dried meal. Before investing in a bucket of food I purchased a single Mountain House Beef Stroganoff meal and had it for dinner (and leftover for lunch). Will be buying more.
- Started this blog to help keep track of the different things I was working on.
- Started to research water purification and storage options for our house.
- Changed the batteries in my EDC, car, and nightstand flashlights.
- Planted two new apple trees in the backyard (read more)
- Picked up another case of water to add to our reserves on our last trip to Costco. Tough to beat less than $3 for 5 gallons of water for long-term storage.
- Stopped by Menards to pick up two boxes of wooden kitchen matches free after rebate.
What did you do to prep in September?

Reckless driving is one of several traffic offenses in Texas that carry criminal penalties, instead of a citation. Typically, these are misdemeanors, but can increase to felonies in some cases if there is a death or injury involved.
Charged with Reckless Driving in Texas?
The Texas Transportation Code defines reckless driving broadly as operating a vehicle with "willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property."
That could mean driving too fast for conditions, or significantly over the speed limit, or weaving in and out of traffic and running red lights. A criminal charge of reckless driving usually requires that you performed more than one action that endangered other people or property.
You can be charged with reckless driving on a public road, or in a parking lot, garage, or other area open to the public vehicle traffic.
Reckless driving is a traffic misdemeanor punishable by up to 30 days in jail and/or a fine of up to $200.
The penalties for a police chase
This Texas criminal traffic charge is simple: If a police officer signals for you to stop your vehicle, and you don't, you have can be charged with fleeing or attempting to elude, under the state's transportation code.
The only stipulations are that the officer must be in uniform, with a badge displayed, and must be in a marked police vehicle. A signal to stop can include not just the usual lights and sirens, but also hand motions or verbal orders.
Fleeing or eluding is a Class B misdemeanor, punishable by up to six months in a county jail. If you "recklessly engage in conduct that places another in imminent danger of serious bodily injury," then it becomes a Class A misdemeanor, which could mean up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $4,000.
You are presumed to be reckless if do it while drunk.
Texas drag racing charges
One of the most serious criminal traffic charges is "racing on highway," which includes drag racing and tests of the "physical endurance of the operator of a vehicle."
While it is a Class B misdemeanor on first offense, a road racing charge becomes a Class A if you have a previous conviction, were drinking while racing, or had an open container in the vehicle. If you've been convicted of racing on highway twice before, the charge becomes a state jail felony, punishable by six months to two years in a state facility.
Drag racing is a third-degree felony – 2 to 10 years – if a person is hurt. It is a second-degree felony, punishable by up to 20 years, if a person is seriously injured or killed.

If anyone boasts, "I love God," and goes right on hating his brother or sister, thinking nothing of it, he is a liar. If he won't love the person he can see, how can he love the God he can't see? The command we have from Christ is blunt: Loving God includes loving people. You've got to love both.–I John 4:20-21 (MSG)
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.–James 1:27 (NIV)
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."–Mark 12:30-31 (NIV)
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.–Romans 5:8 (NIV)

With the NASCAR Sprint Cup season ready to conclude, Dale Earnhardt Jr. came up big at Richmond International Raceway Friday night, winning the pole for tomorrow's Federated Auto Parts 400.
Earnhardt ran 127.023 miles per hour in his No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet, good enough to claim top spot. It was Earnhardt's 11th career pole in 461 career NASCAR Sprint Cup starts.
Jeff Gordon, who comes into the race as the first man outside the Chase, wheeled his No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet to a lap of 126.981 mph, good enough for the outside of the front row.
Gordon enters Saturday night's fray 12 points behind Kyle Busch in the race for the final wild card Chase spot. He drew first blood, buy significantly out-qualifying Busch, who will start 15th.
Regan Smith had an excellent run in the No. 78 Furniture Row Chevrolet, qualifying third at 126.910 mph. He was followed by Clint Bowyer's No. 15 Michael Waltrip Racing Toyota at 126.808 mph. Then came Jimmie Johnson, who made it three Hendrick Chevys in the top five and Mark Martin in a second MWR Toyota.
Denny Hamlin was seventh, followed by Joey Logano, Martin Truex Jr. and Brad Keselowski.
The top 10 drivers in points are all locked into the Chase for the Sprint Cup, although where Tony Stewart finishes on Saturday will determine whether he makes the Chase as a top-10 driver or a wild card.
Kasey Kahne, who qualified 21st, has the inside track for the first wild card, with Busch leading Gordon by 12 points in the race for the second wild card.

The 6 kitten steps of learning a new technology or programming language.
1. You try the new Visual Studio 2008 ide and start compiling your first "Hello world -new-technology-here-" projects.
2. You convince your boss to use it at work, and the world of development looks beautiful,simple and marvelous.
3. First bugs begin to appear and you start doing "pair-programming" (trying to fix problems two at once).
4. You grow tired of bugs and problems of the new technology. You begin wondering why you didn't sticked to the old existing -old-technology-here-.
5. You become red, big and a mixture of Chewbacca and the devil. But you finally dominate the beast/technology.
6. And shortly after, the -new-technology-here- company announces a new version full of changes or even a complete new technology. Back to step 1 ;)

On HBO's Sunday broadcast of "Last Week Tonight," host John Oliver took on President Barack Obama's latest pivot to the so-called climate change issue.
Oliver, who aligned himself with the global warming alarmist side of the debate, showed he was dismissive of public opinion in that a Gallup poll from April found that one in four Americans were skeptical of the theory of anthropogenic climate change.
"Who gives a s–t?" Oliver said. "That doesn't matter. You don't need people's opinion on a fact. You might as well have a poll asking, 'Which number is bigger, 15 or 5?' Or, 'Do owls exist?' Or, 'Are there hats?' The debate on climate change ought not to be whether or not it exists. It is what we should do about. There is a mountain of research on this topic. Global temperatures are rising. Heat waves are becoming more common. Sea surface temperatures are also rising. Glaciers are melting. And of course, no climate report is complete without the obligatory photo of a polar bear balancing on a piece of ice."
"The only accurate way to report that one out of four Americans are skeptical of global warming is to say, 'One in four Americans are wrong about something,'" he continued. "Because a survey of thousands of positions of scientific papers either took a position on climate change found that 97 percent endorsed the positions that humans are causing global warming."
Oliver went on to blame public opinion on how the issue debated on TV, which is argued it is often portrayed as a 50-50 proposition, with Bill Nye "the Science Guy" often taking up the affirmative side of anthropogenic global warming.

Sales of official Longhorn boots give students a leg up
These boots are made for walking — in Longhorn style, and for a good cause. All proceeds from sales of the 1883 University of Texas Boots, made by Lucchese and sold exclusively by the University Co-op, flow into the Rebecca H. Carreon Scholarship Fund, which Student Government created to help meet the financial needs of exemplary UT students.
The boots, in distinctive orange and white with goat leather leg areas and smooth-quill ostrich skin lower portions, come in men's and women's versions and cost $400.
It took the efforts of three different SG administrations — and three friends in particular — to get the footwear on the shelves. The idea for a pair of UT boots was the brainchild of Clayton Stewart, BA '06.
The external financial officer for SG at the time, Stewart was interning at the State Capitol when he noticed lawmakers wearing boots featuring the state seal.
"It didn't make sense that we were the largest school in Texas and we didn't have an official pair of boots," Stewart says. So he got to work. As graduation approached, Stewart worked on getting the go-ahead from UT's trademark office before passing the baton to incoming SG executive director Evan Autry, BA '07, who set about developing a design.
An SG committee decided the boots would carry the traditional Longhorn logo and the UT seal and would be made by a high-quality U.S. manufacturer. Autry pinpointed Lucchese in El Paso as the company for the job. The project, nearing completion, was handed over to Andrew Solomon, BA '08, JD '11, when Autry graduated. Solomon's job was to get the boots to market.
Since the quest's beginning, the primary goal had been to put the proceeds toward a scholarship fund — a purpose that the University Co-op embraced. Solomon worked with then-SG president Danielle Rugoff, BA '09, and the Co-op's George Mitchell to ensure that students would benefit.
The boots landed on the Co-op shelves in 2007, and since then sales have generated $200,000 in scholarships, benefiting 68 students thus far. All UT students except current SG representatives are eligible for the awards.
SG's current external financial director, liberal arts/communication junior Kornel Rady, is now carrying the torch, serving on the committee that chooses the scholarship recipients. "Giving out the scholarship is an incredible opportunity for Student Government to live up to our goal of giving back to students," he says.
Becky Carreon in the Dean of Students office has provided administrative support for SG and other student leadership organizations for the past 26 years.
"I'm super-pleased that the boots scholarship is need-based," says Carreon, whose name graces the scholarship fund in honor of her dedication and service. "I think that is the most important part. Student Government saw the need to help students with their struggle to make ends meet.
"I have the best job on campus," she says. "Every year we have a new administration of super-involved, super-motivated student leaders who have only one short year in office to accomplish their extremely ambitious goals. I help set up meetings for them with UT administrators, fellow students, city leaders, state officials, and whoever can help them accomplish their agenda. It is amazing how much the students grow in one year by actually being able to put their ideas into action."
Those who helped make the UT boots reality take pride in seeing their pet project on the feet of Longhorns, all around Texas, and not just on game days.
"We were definitely on the forefront of university boots," Stewart says. "The best is when an Aggie sees the boots and is jealous. That's just the icing on the cake."

7 Must See Welsh Wondersby Don
Visiting Wales gives you a chance to take in some distinctive sights and places; particularly notable Welsh wonders to explore include Snowdon, Cardiff Castle, the stately home Plas Rhianfa, the waterfall Pistyll Rhaeaddr, St. Winefrede's Well, and Llangollen Bridge. In addition, it's worth seeing the National Museum of Wales' giant leatherback turtle, the largest of its kind discovered. It's possible to tick off a large amount of these sights in the space of a few days if you get the chance, and particularly if you start off in Cardiff. Why, then, are they so special?
1 – Snowdon
The highest mountain in Wales at 3,560 metres, Snowdon is located in the county of Gwynedd, and is the main feature of Snowdonia National Park. The mountain itself can be climbed through a range of different routes, with the summit also reachable by using the Snowdon Mountain Railway. Nature reserves, pools, and rock climbing spots are also located all around the main mountain peak, which tends to attract thousands of visitors every year.
2 – Cardiff Castle
If you're visiting the capital of Wales for the first time, then a trip to Cardiff Castle should be top of your list. Some form of battlements have existed on Cardiff Castle's site since at least the Roman invasion of Britain, with subsequent centuries seeing a motte and bailey structure expanded into a full scale castle during the 19th century. Today, Cardiff Castle offers guided tours and the chance to enjoy festivals and concerts on its grounds and in the nearby Bute Park.
3 – The Turtle of the National Museum of Wales
A more unusual, but no less impressive marvel, the leatherback turtle preserved and exhibited at Cardiff's National Museum of Wales was found washed up on a Welsh beach in 1988. The turtle was over 100 years old when it died, and measured 3 metres, with a weight of 2,000 pounds. Over the years, the turtle has become a favourite at the museum, and is believed to be the largest of its kind ever discovered.
4 – Plas Rhianfa
There are several stately homes with significant historical importance around Wales, but Plas Rhianfa in Anglesey is one of the best and most notable; it was built in the 19th century from French architectural influences, and with its Pavillion and Tea Room, as well as its Polish monarchy inspired gardens, is a fascinating historical relic. Visitors can now stay in Plas Rhianfa since its conversion to a 5 star luxury hotel.
5 – Pistyll Rhaeadr
The tallest waterfall in Wales can be found by the Afon Disgynfa river, and close to the Berwyn Mountains. The name 'pistyll rhaeadr' translates from the Welsh as the 'spring of the waterfall', and at 75m high, the waterfall is a great spot for taking photographs from. A cafe is located nearby if you're tired out after climbing to the top of the falls.
6 – St. Winefride's Well
One of the oldest pilgrimage sites in the UK, St. Winefride's Well is located in the town of Holywell in Flintshire. The well was traditionally believed to have mystical healing properties, and was mentioned in the classic poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight; over time, the well became a favourite spot for Royal visits.
7 – Llangollen Bridge
Built over the River Dee in 1345 by the Bishop of St. Asaph, the original stone Llangollen Bridge was an engineering marvel for the time, and crucial for creating what became a significant market town in Llangollen. Constructions, renovations, and widening schemes were carried out in subsequent centuries, although the main part of the bridge itself still stands.
Author Bio
Kevin Maddox is a writer and historian with a long connection to Wales. He particularly recommends that visitors consider looking at www.plasrhianfa.com if they want to stay a night at the stately home.

One of the best parts of doing life in a cohort is a constant flow of learning from one another. Once one of us reads something awesome, hears something life changing, or just discovers a book with one phenomenal chapter, we recommend it to the rest of the group, and typically we all get around to that book at some point. So… we'll be sharing some of the love here on the site. These aren't full reviews, and just as a disclaimer – we don't always agree with everything we read. BUT, if it's worth our time, and it may be worth yours, we'll throw it up here with a link and maybe a sentence or two.
Leila is currently reading:
The Gifts of Imperfection, by Brene Brown
I, Leila, have enjoyed Daring Greatly as one of my favorite books of all time, and I am loving this book just as much. Everything Brene Brown writes is refreshingly real and vulnerable!
Just one of many quotes I love is, "Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It's about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen."
So far I am enjoying every piece of Brown's research on how to live a "wholehearted" life, and laughing a lot along the way.

Exactly what is a tranquil divorce? In attorney lingo, a tranquil divorce is described as an 'uncontested divorce'. Basically, an uncontested divorce is where the husband and the partner are in 100% agreement on every one of the significant problems. Now, pay attention to the term '100% arrangement'. When 100% agreement exists, that means you and your spouse have reached a full and last settlement on every one of the major issues. Worldwide of divorce law, 98% agreement is a 'contested divorce'. Having 99% contract in between you and your partner is likewise 'contested divorce'. Just where there is 100% contract in between you and your spouse, will 'uncontested divorce' be possible.
Exactly what does it take to reach a 100% contract on every one of the major problems? Firstly, it assists to have an understanding of the significant concerns. Worldwide of divorce law, the typical case has 3 major issues: home department, debt division, and most notably kid custody.
Let's start to dissect the major problems by analyzing child custody initially. If you and your partner remain in 100% contract on the concern of child custody, that indicates the two of you have actually agreed on which among you will be the main custodial moms and dad and which among you will be the secondary custodial moms and dad. It likewise implies that you and your partner have settled on a custody schedule and a quantity of child assistance to be paid.
Next, let's evaluate the property division concern. If you and your partner remain in 100% contract on the concern of residential or commercial property division, that indicates the two of you have settled on which among you will take ownership of the marital home, each automobile, and each financial investment. It likewise implies that you and your partner have actually settled on ways to divide the personal items, which amongst other things, consists of the wedding event rings.
Lastly, there is the concern of debt division. If you and your spouse remain in 100% contract on the problem of debt department, that implies the two of you have actually agreed that a person of you will assume duty for the home loan, the month-to-month payment connected with each automobile, and the charge card financial obligation. It likewise indicates that you and your partner have agreed on the best ways to divide obligation for each one of the individual financial obligations like student loans and impressive medical bills.

It's Day 4 of NaNoWriMo and I've got a quick update about how my writing is going, my word count and some changes I've made. From Day 3 until today, I've been waking up at 5am to complete my word count which is 1668. On day 1, I wrote 2000 words and the only other time I wrote close to 2000 was yesterday and that's because I wrote twice in one day.
My plan was to write at 5am and then go running around 6am. But because I write slow and require frequent reviews to make sure my characters dialogues makes sense, it's taking more than an hour to reach my word count for the day. Pair that with editing as I write and there goes the hour.
So I've switched up the plan and have decided to write in the morning on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. Then on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, I write right before bed. I'm doing it like this because writing before running or vice versa isn't working and I refuse to give up either one. Because my running schedule is Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays it makes better sense for me to write at night the days before my run. Im a true believer in tweaking a plan as many times as possible until it works. No use in giving up on something without really trying.
The amount of words I've written so far is 5,566, not including the words I will write tonight. I'm loving the way my story is progressing and I hope to continue to stay in love with it. I did make a mistake that I was able to correct. I wrote without reading the outline I created for one of the scenes and my imagination took the story in a different direction. While this works for pantsers, to make things up as they go, I need a throughly planned out storyline. My mistake gave me the idea to write at night on some days and early in the morning on others, so it worked out for the best.
For these next few days, I'm aiming to double my word count so I get more on the page. I also need to finish the outlines for the remaining scenes in the novel.
I hope you other wrimos are having a great time with your novels! One of the secrets in getting to the end is to fall and stay in love with your work so it feels less like an obligation and more like a treat every time you turn on your computer.
See you on Day 6!

The ecstasy of connection
I have come to realize that connections we have with people never really go away.
In moments when I've been angry and frustrated with life I've convinced myself that connections die, but that was only vulnerability and fear.
Connections don't die.
They may change, become stronger or weaker, but they don't die.
And that has scared me. For good reason.
Let me explain.
One of my boyfriends when I was in my late teens killed himself in his early 30s. He and I were incredibly in love when we were together. We were totally open with each other and consumed with our passion for each other. We had an instant and deeply profound connection to each other.
We lost touch after we broke up and I did not see him again.
At some point in my early 30s I started thinking about researching suicide. It was a very strong urge. And I did. I found out the stats on suicide and that it is mostly men that do it. Women try it too, but men invariably succeed. I did not know where the strong urge came from. I was not suicidal at all. After a while the urge waned.
A few years later I decided to look up my old boyfriend, to see where he was and what he was up to. He had a very unusual name so was usually easy to find.
I couldn't find a phone record for him however, and I persisted until I found something.
His obituary.
It popped up and I was instantly stunned, and then burst into tears. I cried for over two hours without stopping. I was horrified.
A piece of me had been ripped from my heart.
He had been dead already 4 years before I knew. All that time I'd imagined him alive. Somewhere.
He was not.
And I looked at the date he died and remembered. I'd had a dream. A dream where he'd come to my door with a bag of dirty laundry over his shoulder. He was dirty and broken and he asked if he could sleep on my couch. I said no, I was living with my boyfriend and he couldn't stay with us. I closed the door in his face.
That was the night he died.
When I realized that was the night, I was stunned. He had come to see me, come to stay with me and I had closed the door in his face. And he was dead.
To say this affected me deeply is the biggest understatement of my life. I felt so upset that I'd sent him away. I felt somehow partly responsible for his death. I mourned him. I carried a photo of the two of us embracing everywhere. It lay beside my bed when I slept.
And then I got really mad. He was gone and I felt as if he'd taken all our memories, all our past together with him. I felt as if it never happened because I couldn't share those memories with anyone living. And I was so angry he'd done that. How could he leave me here? Alone? With all our amazing memories. Our moments of passion, our laughter, our simple times sleeping side by side. His smile, his laugh, the way he bounced when he walked. How could he leave me without being able to ever experience them again?
How could he?
But he had.
And I have been coming to terms with it ever since.
I'm no longer angry with him, but I still mourn him.
And sometimes I still feel him. Not the way I used to. I feel him through other people sometimes. I see someone with his hair, or his physique, and I remember. I see someone bouncing when they walk and it's him for just a moment.
And recently someone has been loving me like he did, and I know the connection is still there. Somehow I know he's in this man's arms, chest, lips and heart. In all of him somehow.
And I am sorry my old boyfriend gave up. Felt he couldn't go on. I think we've all felt like that at some point I'm just sorry he actually took himself away from us.
The connection still scares me but not as much, and I have learned never to close the door. And I will never again. We all have to face our deepest fears. Mine is that someone I love will be taken from me.
And it has happened. But I'm still here. And I still have the courage to love with all my heart. And I will give my heart again, because with no pain there is no ecstasy.
And he and I most certainly had that between us.
The ecstasy of connection.

Two numbers: 19 billion$ paid by Facebook for a start up Whats app. Everybody is amazed by those dazzling numbers. How are the buyers going to finance these acquisitions. Capital? Yes, some. But, by and large, debt and sophisticated financial instruments who are, as well, the children go technology. logy.
Technology in finance is opening a Economy Earth in which exchanges, regulators, investors are all running in circles to find the right entry point to the markets where you are with a tech device phone, laptop, tablet.. and your formidable mathematical apparatus.
The debate about whether those numbers represent a new tech bubble is neither here nor there. What is crucial is that, more that ever before, tech companies are at the avant garde of global economy, markets and daily life.
All the familiar names: Google, Apple, Facebook, Ebay, Netflix are the architects, the builders of Economy Earth and of Market Earth.

4H Trainmasters Winter Train Spectacular
If you have a little engineer on your hands (or a big engineer for that matter), you might enjoy taking them to see the 4H Trainmasters Winter Train Spectacular in Bridgewater, NJ.
Here's the info from their press release about this fun-filled show:
"The Somerset County 4-H Trainmasters will be holding their annual Winter Train Show at the Ted Blum 4-H Center, 310 Milltown Road, Bridgewater, NJ on January 30th and 31st, 2016 from 10am-5pm each day. New this year is the addition of more than 40 vendors and crafters to the two-day event. Admission is $4.00 for adults and $2.00 for children under 12 years old. Admission pays for entry to both the train and vendor shows.
The Trainmasters' 40-by-60-foot layout will be on display and continuously running throughout the show. Multiple trains will run simultaneously across thousands of feet of track and30 unique scenery displays. The scenery represents a range of styles—from traditional landscapes and buildings, to designs incorporating robotics to scenery made of LEGO blocks and MINECRAFT toys.
|photo courtesy of 4H Trainmasters
Scenery displays change from show to show, so there is always something new to see. "Each club member creates their own unique scenery section for the layout. When it all comes together, it creates a very unique collection of designs, unlike anything you'll see anywhere else," says club member parent Michele Ferreira.
The club also has an expansive collection of O-scale trains, including THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE, THE POLAR EXPRESS and a collection of rare and classic trains. Club members will lead How to Build a Model Railroad tutorials.There will also be hands-on activities for younger children such as interactive train tables, train-related craft activities and small animals to pet.
|photo courtesy of 4H Trainmasters
A varied selection of quality, pre-owned train items are being sold at the event. "Many generous people have donated trains and equipment to the club over the years. We use lots of these things ourselves. Other items will be sold at the show and the money will be reinvested in the club," says senior club leader Jim Wood.
More than 40 vendors and crafters will offer non-train items for sale at the show this year. Vendors will host free drawings at their tables.The winners need not be present to win.
Concessions will be available for purchase all day, each day of the show. Attendees can get snacks, drinks or sit down to have breakfast or lunch.
Proceeds from the annual winter train show support the Somerset County 4-H Trainmasters' College Fund and other club activities.
Members of the 4-H Trainmasters range in age from fourth-graders to one year out of high school. The Somerset County 4-H Trainmasters Club currently has about 30 members. It was the first youth-led model railroad club in the state when it formed in 2000 with six kids.
So mark your calendars for January 30th and 31st and come see a very unique train event. The first 20 children through the door each day will receive a prize, so plan to be there early!
